Detailed Description

The interface for handling resources from a disk system.

ManagedData are heavy-weight on-disk resources. They are managed in the sense that they are only read from the disk once and stored in memory as a single instance. If multiple entities need the same on-disk resource, they share the underlying data in opaque containers.
